I don't think that's such a good idea considering that you wear them with your suits,what's wrong with single sole?

I think the criticism of my shoes that the single sole doesn't complement the storm welting has some traction, and I don't want to lose the storm welting. Anyway, I don't think double soles would make the shoes unwearable with suits. In my opinion, the difference isn't so great that you could tell unless you were looking at the shoes alone.

Double-soled shoes typically require a break-in period before the soles develop a "hinge" where you flex them when you walk. Until that happens (half a dozen wearings or so) they can be painful to wear.

You're probably being sarcastic, but for those who think this is the case, just remember that the height of the heel is the only measurement of relevance. Double soles don't generally have thicker heels, so no difference in height.

Don't know your weight but probably stiffness is not an issue for big guys.

i am on the heavier side ...but for me there is no existing rule. from my personal experience, shoes do not always feel the same, if this makes sense. and in the rare ocassions my feet do hurt or the soles start burning, it's 99% with a single sole.

also i have the the feeling the different toe spring of a double sole makes them more flexible. this may due, cause the majority of my shoes is custom made and are "balanced" for me.
